About Jonathan

I am Dr. Jonathan Miles (D. Phil. Oxford University) and my books have been published in the UK and the USA and translated into languages such as French, Italian, Czech, Polish, Chinese & Taiwanese. A film of The Wreck of the Medusa is in pre-production. As an editor I have experience in fiction and non-fiction. I have also copy edited government documents.

After three decades of coaching adults for University of Oxford Department of External Studies summer schools, University of Berkeley Extension summer schools, private workshops in the United States, United Kingdom, the south of France as well as undergraduate teaching, I have great experience working with both experienced writers and novices. I can help you at whatever stage you have reached.

Anthony Brandt – The American Scholar

‘a thrilling read’ … ‘Miles’s consistently fascinating and vivaciously written book’ - The Guardian

The Nine Lives of Otto Katz (UK: Transworld – Penguin Random House. US: Bloomsbury)

‘a true-life action thriller, shot through with the glitz of Hollywood high-life and the gravity of international high politics’ - Saga Magazine

‘Here we have biography at its readable best.’ - The Washington Times

‘Jonathan Miles’s riveting new biography … a film ought to be made of Katz’s life but who could possibly play such an outlandish character.’ - Mail on Sunday

--

St. Petersburg (UK: Hutchinson – Penguin Random House. US: Pegasus Books)

‘This is a storyteller entranced with his subject, who makes its brilliant portrayal look deliriously easy.’ - The Observer

‘what makes it special is the sheer inescapable momentum of Miles’s prose, powered by the captivating intensity of his attachment to his subject. This is a story told by a writer enthralled’ - The Arts Desk

‘In this compelling account of St Petersburg’s turbulent history, Miles peels back the layers of myth in which the city is swaddled, while never losing sight of its haunting grace.’ – Daniel Beer in The Guardian

‘Miles writes in a rattling from-the-hip fashion, which only adds to the book’s party atmosphere’ - Financial Times (Books to Read in 2023)

Get expert help to kick-start your writing, tune your creative instrument, or work on your manuscript before submitting to agents or publishers.

If you need stimulation to get started on a project or editorial advice on a novel, book or proposal you are writing, I can help. I can help you with your writing at any level and for any purpose.

All these services are contoured to your needs. If it’s a literary novel you’re writing, you’ll be wrestling with the ideas and language to secure a maximum of expression. If it’s a project pitched at the Mass market, you’ll be thinking of streamlining and speed. Whether you need a full session discussing your writing, or precise comments and feedback sent to you directly, our lessons will be tailored specifically to your needs.

I can also offer writing exercises – rather like the scales of a pianist or a dancer’s warm-up - to increase your flexibility and dexterity by focusing on topics such as creating character, dealing with dialogue and a sense of place.

I have a trained voice and am used to public speaking, communicating, recording audiobooks and related voice work. I can help you to speak more affectively, hold people’s attention.
